    I've never used a router template bushing kit and I'm not sure I understand what they do different from a bit with a bearing other than a bearing rolls along a surface and the bushing would just ride against that same surface? I see they have different centers I'm assuming for wider bits of...

    I've got a walnut slab that has some sharp edges that I'd like to round over with a 1/8" radius bit. However I've now realized that since the sides of the slab are not "flat" or vertical, it might be hard for the bit to follow along the edge properly or dig into the wood more than I'm...

    I made a sled to plane some large "rounds" (photos below). They are about 40% moisture. Plan is to plane and seal (done). I didn't expect perfection and maybe this is good enough for now.

    I recently borrowed my friend's PC890 router, and while tightening a bit into the collet, the spindle lock pin broke right half in two. I have read that this is a common occurrence and that the vast majority of people don't bother replacing it, but since it doesn't belong to me, it certainly...

    So, I've gotten tired of trying to mount and dismount my plunge router to the table and thought I'd finally buy a Porter Cable 7519. What is going on in the woodworking power tools world? I can't find one on line or in a store to save my life, and used ones cost more than new. What am I...

    Background: For years, all I had was an early 1980s Black and Decker router. It is big, heavy, underpowered, and takes only 1/4 inch router bits. Last year I added a Makita compact router set.
